Abstract
Abstract A data recording device for a camera comprises a time signal generator for generating time-sequential time signals, display means changing the content of display in response to said time signal, a recording signal generator for generating a recording signal of a determined duration for causing the exposure of the display of said display means onto a photographic film and delay means for delaying the entry of said time signal into said display means until the termination of said recording signal in case said time signal is released during the continuation of said recording signal.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
94 words
A data recording device for a camera, comprising: a time signal generator for generating time-sequential time signals; display means changing the content of its display in response to said time signal; a recording signal generator for generating a recording signal of a determined duration for causing an exposure of the display of said display means onto a photographic film; and a delay means delaying entry of one of said time signals into said display means until termination of said recording signal in case said time signal is released during continuation of the recording signal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
94 words
A data recording device for a camera, comprising: a time signal generator for generating time-sequential time signals; display means changing the content of its display in response to said time signal; a recording signal generator for generating a recording signal of a determined duration for causing an exposure of the display of said display means onto a photographic film; and a delay means delaying entry of one of said time signals into said display means until termination of said recording signal in case said time signal is released during continuation of the recording signal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
128 words
A data recording device according to claim 1, wherein said one of said time signals is a pulse signal of a determined interval, said recording signal is a pulse signal of a duration shorter than 1/2 of the interval of one of said time signals, and said delay means comprises a logic circuit and an R-S flip-flop, wherein said logic circuit receives the recording signal and one of said time signals and is adapted to release an inverted output of said time signal in an absence of said recording signal and to release an output of a determined level in the presence of said recording signal, while said R-S flip-flop controls the display means in response to the outputs from said logic circuit and said time signal generator.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
43 words
A data recording device according to the claim 2, wherein said display means comprises a counter for counting the output signals from the R-S flip-flop and a display unit capable of displaying a content of said counter upon receipt of a recording signal.
